United we stand, divided we fall is a well-known saying which implies solidarity is a strength. A United Nation can simply accomplish a larger number of goals than a partitioned Nation. That is the reason, in the old time man used to live; travel and hunt alone, yet soon understood the significance of living and working in a group with his fellow men. Subsequently, villages were shaped which thus formed into Town, Cities and Countries.

Pakistan is one of the most populous countries in the world. The large population enhances the Pakistan cultural identity and diversity across the different geographical and religious lines. Furthermore, language also differentiates the culturally endorsed nation with several languages including Punjabi, Pashto, Siraiki, Balochi, Sindhi, Shina and Urdu among many others. Language unites individuals creating social groups identical to a particular culture. Social diversity makes uniqueness and enhances a nation’s history and social setups with innovativeness in art and architectural aspects emerging from such decent variety. Shockingly, it represents a test where these qualifications make dialect boundaries and improve social isolation because of changeability of people on tribal, cast, religious or geological premise.

Similarly, there is a protest or Long March from Pashtuns in Islamabad since the last 6 days for their rights, yet Media channels are cautioned not to give coverage to the protesters from the establishment of Pakistan without any reason. Opposite, to this it has turned into a culture in Pakistan that those groups/Parties get the attention of people and Media who blocked the main roads and turned into violence. In like manner, Likewise, Media gave coverage to Imran Khan Dharana against Ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for right around 128 days ceaselessly. Notwithstanding this Media offered scope to Khadim Hussain Rizvi from Tehreek-e-Labaik which is acclaimed for his abusive language.

But in the case of Pashtuns, every media group is silent. More stunning is that all the major Political Parties (Pakistan People’s gathering, Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, Tehreek-e-Labaik and so forth) in the country have declared long March on 5 February as Kashmir Solidarity Day. Pashtuns’ can’t comprehend the level of affectation from the general population and gatherings who will partake in such Long March. The general population of Pakistan feels tragic for the Kashmir individuals however not for the Pashtuns’ who are being yielded by the nation for more than 45 years only for the interests of United States of America. Most likely what is going in Kashmir is additionally wrong, but rather Pashtuns leaving in Pakistan are carrying on with the life of predators as like Kashmiris in Kashmir.

The Pashtuns are requesting their equitable right which is the privilege of each Pakistan living in the nation, along these lines, it isn’t just the obligation of Pashtuns, however, the duty of all Pakistanis’ to take an interest in the long march and help Pashtuns to accomplish their objective. Give your hand to support Pashtuns for sake of humanity and for the country.
